Science tells us we're all related--one vast family sharing a common ancestor who lived in Africa 60,000 years ago.
But countless questions remain about our great journey from the birthplace of Homo sapiens.
How and when did we end up where we are?
The Genographic Project uses advance DNA analysis to work with indigenous communities and the general public to help answer fundamental questions about where we originated and how we came to populate the Earth
The new test analyzes thousands of markers on both the Y chromosome and mtDNA, providing the richest levels of genetic and geographic resolution for these lineages. Geno 2.0 will run a comprehensive analysis to identify more than 3,000 genetic markers on your mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down each generation from mother to child, to reveal your direct maternal deep ancestry. In the case of men, we will also examine more than 10,000 markers on the Y chromosome, which is passed down from father to son, to reveal your direct paternal deep ancestry. In addition, for all participants, we will analyze a collection of more than 130,000 other markers from across your entire genome to reveal the regional affiliations of your ancestry, offering insights into your ancestors who are not on a direct maternal or paternal line for both males and females.
